The Miami Heat recently dropped the bombshell that they’ve suspended Jimmy Butler for a minimum of five games. This decision comes as a result of Butler’s ongoing disregard for team rules, engaging in behavior that’s just not great for the squad, and even holding back his services on purpose.
This marks Jimmy Butler’s third suspension following his trade request. In a recent episode of the “7PM in Brooklyn” podcast, former NBA player Carmelo Anthony discussed the ongoing feud between Butler and the Heat. During the conversation, Anthony warned Butler about the potential repercussions in the NBA after his third suspension.
“Jimmy, man, chill out. Because they’re going to Marbury you. They’re going to tell you, ‘Don’t even come around no more until we figure out what’s next.’ And when they do that, there’s no other team you’re going to.” Anthony said.

During the 2005–06 season, Stephon Marbury had a conflict with head coach Larry Brown. After experiencing several disagreements with both the New York Knicks and new head coach Mike D’Antoni, Marbury was banned from attending any Knicks practices or games. Anthony warned Butler to be cautious, using Marbury’s situation as an example.
